Hendrik Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hello All,I was sent a couple of pictures of this named medal but have no further information on it at all. Couldn't find it in the usual reference sources so any help in identifying it and learning about its creation and award criteria would be welcome ! Looks as if it's an Italian Republic issue but could it be an unofficial one ?Here's the pictures :Thanks !Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrik Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hello JimZ,The picture is a bit fuzzy (but that's how I received it) ... could be LIMB but I think it's LIME - it's supposed to be the name of the recipient of the medal concerned.Cheers,Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hello,it is an unofficial medal, usually bought from soldiers at the end of their active duty. Until recently, the Italian Armed forces had compulsory draft.The piece shown should be from the 60s.Best wishes,Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
